I have kind of a loaded question, but it's something that I've been thinking about lately.
Ever since I started taking CLEP tests, I always assumed that I would soon apply to TESC pursuing a BSBA in General Management. The reason I chose this major was that I know it is extremely versatile and would help me gain a broad range of knowledge about business. In other words, it's very broad, but somewhat shallow.
I was recently talking to my father, and he advised me to perhaps reconsider changing my planned program to a BSBA in Finance or some other specialized Business field.
He said the reason for this is that there are so many young people coming out of college today with a General Business degree, and they are flooding the market. He says that with a specialized degree (as in Finance, Accounting, Marketing, etc.), I might have a chance of getting a better job than if I only had a General Management degree.
I need to decide my major soon so I can know what CLEP and DSST exams to take. I've heard that 80% of college grads work in a field unrelated to their college major.
If anyone has any suggestions or insights regarding a General Management vs. Finance degree, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
